A social experiment is a research project conducted with human subjects in the real world. It typically investigates the effects of a policy intervention by randomly assigning individuals, families, businesses, classrooms, or other units to different treatments or to a controlled condition that represents the status quo.[1] Social experimentation has raised many ethical concerns, due to its manipulation of large groups of the population, often without consent.[2]

Examples

French carbon tax

The carbon tax in France, for example, was a large scale social experiment conducted by technocrats and global elitists to promote the science of climate change.[3] It radically backfired when both Left and Right on the political spectrum spontaneously united in the yellow vest movement.
